PROPOSAL BY: Taeden Landar

GROUP NAME: The New Amsterdam

TYPE: Coffeeshop (Dutch style)

SLURL: Teleport

BACKSTORY: OOC: My friend Crue (Cruelle Qunhua) liked the vibe and rp here when we tried promoting some girls to be in the porn movie biz. She's actually Dutch and thought it might be fun to run our own business in DE. IC: We've had initial discussions with the police department about starting a coffee shop in DE and that information looked promising. Our agenda is pretty simple; offer a friendly place for likeminded people and make a living at it without getting pulled into some of the more dangerous or lowpaying jobs available in DE.

UNIQUE: As far as we could see, there's no Dutch-style "coffee shop" in place. And offering a semi-legitimate shop to buy and move product might be of interest to both growers and consumers.

EXP:I've been a faction leader in various rp's in medieval and in Gor, and also a mod. Crue as well is very level headed and calm-- even in the face of ooc conflict. Both of us love to rp!

IDEAS:We're open to suggestions here. But we're both comfortable and experienced in promoting and running events whether it's to encourage rp or support other ooc goals. If the coffee shop idea were approved, I could see us starting out with an ic open house or grand opening.

OTHER:Yummy treats, women, pot, fantastic roleplay-- is more needed?
